Chapter 384 Heart Attack from Anger
Rad was also having a headache seeing Meng Shiwan's stubborn attitude.
“Miss Xu, listen to me. Professor Chen has already found a way to make the ability-enhancing fluid. He just wants to discuss it with you. Maybe you can get some inspiration and find the reason for the unstable energy. This is a good thing for you.”
Meng Shiwan glanced at Chen Bolang; he must be the person she had come to rescue.
Meng Shiwan's face turned cold. "What? Don't you understand what I'm saying? No communication, no cooperation. If this is how you're going to try to take advantage of me, then we won't cooperate anymore. I'll just leave."
Rad: ...
He was completely numb.
Everyone says that mutual communication is a good thing for both parties, and she can benefit from it, so why does she seem not to understand and treat them like thieves?
“Ms. Xu, we have given you almost all of our research results from the past year. Isn’t that enough of our sincerity? Professor Chen’s academic achievements are outstanding and will only benefit you.”
Meng Shiwan stared at Rad and only sneered, "Isn't this beneficial to you at all? Sending someone to discuss this with me is really just an attempt to find out my experimental procedures, isn't it? Don't think I don't know your ulterior motives."
"You can all leave now. Don't keep me from doing my research. I can create the ability-enhancing fluid even without your help."
Rad: ...
He's completely impervious to reason, absolutely impervious to reason.
At this moment, Chen Bolang spoke up, "Miss Xu, right? Actually, I have already deduced the general method of making the ability enhancement fluid, and I am not far from success. If the two of us work together, we will definitely succeed."
Meng Shiwan glanced at him and said, "What do I care if you succeed or not? I just want to succeed myself and then make a fortune using the production method."
Rad was furious listening to this.
This woman is too selfish; she readily accepted their experimental results when they were given to her.
I just wanted to discuss this with her, but she wouldn't say a word.
What a shrewd businessman! He'll do anything to make a profit, but he'll never do anything to suffer a loss.
Rad gritted his teeth, "What will it take for you to reveal your techniques?"
Meng Shiwan shrugged. "Of course, if I'm satisfied with the price, I'll tell you everything I know."
Rad gritted his teeth again, "Name your price."
Meng Shiwan's expression softened a bit. "Five million crystal cores."
Now it was Rad's turn to turn pale. "Where would we get so many crystal cores? We've basically put them all into research."
Meng Shiwan thought for a moment, "Then let's say five million barrels of oil."
Meng had seen the news before that the United States had tens of billions of barrels of fuel in storage, and she only wanted five million barrels, which was nothing.
Rad's face was still dark. "You haven't even made the ability-enhancing fluid. Your technology is only half-finished, yet you want five million barrels of oil. Don't you think that's excessive?"
Meng Shiwan didn't take it seriously. "Then there's nothing to talk about. Are you leaving, or am I leaving?"
Her attitude silenced everyone present. They looked at her as if she were a crab baring its claws, utterly helpless.
Seeing that they didn't move, Meng Shiwan swayed towards the door and said, "Then I'm leaving. It seems that I'm not needed here anymore."
Rad's face darkened further.
After all that, they gave their research results to this woman, and she actually wanted to leave. Wasn't that just stealing their work for nothing?
Rad was so angry he felt like his heart, liver, and lungs were aching, but he had no choice but to compromise.
"I will report your request, but on the condition that you help us make a real ability enhancement fluid. If you can't make it in a day, you will stay here to do research and cannot leave until you succeed."
The most important thing is to be able to make the ability enhancement fluid, which will greatly increase the strength of the ability users in the base and the base's overall strength. This is crucial.
Meng Shiwan turned around, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay."
After receiving Meng Shiwan's promise, Rad stormed off, presumably to report it.
Meng Shiwan looked at Chen Bolang, "You're quite knowledgeable about making ability-enhancing fluids?"
Chen Bolang nodded, "Yes, I have figured out the general production plan, but it needs to be tested. The success rate is probably over 65%."
This isn't meant to fool Rad; it's real.
He has been studying various experimental materials and data day and night for the past few days.
The Zeus base has not been without progress over the past year. He has accumulated a lot of experience there, and as long as there is an opportunity to experiment, there is a certain chance of success.
Meng Shiwan breathed a sigh of relief; she knew nothing and was just being fooled.
At least Chen Bolang would conduct experiments, so he wouldn't be exposed.
Wu Ming is right. Chen Bolang is indeed an extremely capable professor. He is the most promising person to develop the ability-enhancing fluid.
Meng Shiwan found a comfortable chair, sat down, and dozed off with her head tilted to the side.
Rad's assistant asked her, puzzled, "Aren't you doing experiments?"
Meng Shiwan looked up at him and said, "How can I conduct experiments with you all here? I'm just waiting for Rad's reply. If he agrees to the deal, I can share my method with you. What's the rush?"
The assistant remained silent.
The laboratory was quiet. Meng Shiwan was dozing off, Chen Bolang was looking at documents, and the others were fiddling with the instruments, all waiting for Rad to return.
About an hour later, Meng Shiwan felt like she was dreaming; Rad had finally returned.
His face was still dark as he said to Meng Shiwan, "The higher-ups have agreed, but we must produce the ability-enhancing fluid, otherwise it will be difficult to explain."
Meng Shiwan stood up. "Don't worry, take your things. I'll definitely get things done for you. Let's go."
Rad frowned. "Where to?"
Meng Shiwan looked at him with extreme surprise. "Of course we're going to get oil. You don't want to buy on credit, do you? Do you think I'm the kind of person who would let someone buy on credit?"
Rad: ...
He was truly impressed; he was completely convinced by this woman.
"A spatial ability user has already gone to pick it up, and it will be delivered soon."
"Oh." Meng Shiwan sat back down and dozed off again.
Rad was speechless. "Can we talk now? Let's have a chat."
Meng Shiwan: "We'll discuss it again once the oil arrives."
Rad gasped for breath, feeling like he was about to collapse from anger.
She'd already agreed, and the superhuman had gone to get it, so why did she insist on having it in her own hands first? Couldn't they have talked to each other first?
Chen Bolang said in a deep voice, "Call my teammates over, I need their assistance."
Rad waved his hand weakly, "Go and call them."
The assistant went quickly.
The space-age ability users arrived quickly, leaving batches of oil on the open ground outside, which Meng Shiwan then collected into her own space.
With the deal complete, Rad said listlessly, "Can we talk now?"
Meng Shiwan looked at Chen Bolang beside her and asked, "Whose side are you from?"
Chen Bolang's lips twitched. "I'm from Dongcheng."
Rad strained his ears to listen, only to discover that their conversation was encrypted and completely incomprehensible. He was so angry he almost had a heart attack. "You've taken so much of our stuff, can't I even listen to your research findings?"
Ignoring Rad, Meng Shiwan said to Chen Bolang in Cantonese, "I don't know anything about experiments. The rest is up to you. Buy some time."
Chen Bolang replied earnestly, "I understand."
